He has enhanced his skills by working with instructors such as Shane Fero, Bandhu Dunham, and Loren Stump and collaborating with many glass artists from around the country.
His expertise in running our Flame Off! has made him a leading figure within the flameworking community, as Karl has now set up countless competitions around the country.
